CHOCOLATE IS A SALAD..

     

 "Chocolate comes from cacao, which is a tree. 

That makes it a plant. Chocolate is a salad".

       Good news ladies, the following recipe proves that this 

     quotes is true. A healthy recipe for chocolate mousse. 

                                                       Easy, fast... Hope you like it!

DUTCHIE

As I wrote earlier, it's time to improve my styling skills, so here is another one. 
In my opinion, Dutch food isn't the best in the world. But we do have some nice dishes. Dutch pancakes is one of them. Simple, classic.

(spelt) flour - milk - egg's - salt - (coconut) oil or butter 

MUFFIN TOP

As I'm back home for a couple of weeks now, I decided to get back to work. Time to improve my food styling skills. And as my teacher at the styling academy told me, it takes a lot of practise. 
Back to work also meant going back to the gym and eat healthy, two things I didn't do in Italy at all. ;) I think a healthy lifestyle doesn't have to exclude good food, just change recipes and find alternatives for unhealthy ingredients. (:
Here is my first try, pumpkin muffins without added sugar.

Pumpkin - egg whites - honey -  greek yoghurt - flour - baking powder (mixture) | roasted almonds - cream cheese - honey - lemon and yoghurt  (topping). 

SUMMER FLEW BY(E)

The moment I arrived in Holland, I realised.. summer is over. Since I'm back, it's raining, raining and raining and 15 degrees is all we get I guess.

To me, summer flew by even faster than usually. Probably, because I had such a great time in Italy. Time flies when you're having fun..

So now that summer is over, I say let's welcome autumn, with her beautiful colors. 

One last summer post before I surrender to this upcoming season. I would like to show you the result of one of the assignments I did at Artemis Styling academy last semester. The theme was 'summer and love', a fictitious assignment for ELLE magazine.
